Abstract: A computer-implemented method provides for contacting emergency services in a remote region that is different from a home region using a softphone emergency dialing system. The method includes receiving, at a communication interface in the remote region, an emergency communication originating from a softphone application executing on a communication device, the software application being registered in the home region. The method also includes validating, by a computer processor, the emergency communication with a network switch identifier, and accessing a database to identify an originator of the emergency communication, including current location data. The method further includes routing, via a cloud communication platform, the emergency communication to a regional session border controller, and executing, by the computer processor, the emergency communication with a local calling number associated with the remote region.

Abstract: A method and computing apparatus for verifying an operability of a target device are provided. The method includes sequentially obtaining first image information of the target device, initiating a communication with the target device, obtaining second image information of the target device, comparing the first image information with the second image information; and determining whether the target device is operational based on a result of the comparing wherein the target device is determined as being operational when the first image information is different from the second image information, and the target device is determined as at least one of not receiving communications and not operational when the first image information is identical to the second image information.

Abstract: An embodiment of the present invention is directed to intelligently routing softphone emergency calls. The innovative system and method comprises: receiving, via an interface, an emergency interaction from the user, wherein the user is located at a remote region that is different from the registered home region and wherein the interface that communicates with a user via a device that executes a softphone application registered at a home region; validating, a computer processor, the emergency interaction against a network switch identifier; performing a database dip to identify caller information including current location data; communicating, via the interface, a confirmation message to the user; routing, via a cloud communication platform, a call to a regional session border controller based at least in part on the current location data; and executing, via the computer processor, an emergency call with a local calling number associated with the remote region.

Abstract: An intrinsically safe network switch (200) includes five electronically isolated ports, four for connections in hazardous areas (206-1, 206-2, 206-3, 206-4) and one for receiving an unsafe Ethernet input (204). The device may use 10/100 mbps Ethernet cables and connectors and provides speed and activity LED indicators for each port. The device may be din rail-mountable, wall mountable, or desk mountable, and includes an integral heat sink for cool operation. The device incorporates internal barriers and isolated circuitry to guarantee safety and high-integrity signals with resistance to ambient EMI/RFI radiation. This network switch (200) could be any Ethernet communication devices such as hub, managed or unmanaged switch etc. Also, it could have total “n” number of ports (isolated or un-isolated) with 1 port for safe area and “n?1” port of hazardous area. The number of ports for safe and hazardous area can be varied to meet specific application requirements.

Abstract: A wireless circuit setup is used in a hazardous area where the circuit is intrinsically safe and does not require explosion proof containment. In this setup, an intrinsically safe master barrier (420) is used without the use of a resistor and one or more resistors (R1, R2, R3) are placed in at least one final barrier at the output end prior to the signal exiting the system. The use of resistors (R1, R2, R3) at the final barrier reduces the loss of power and speed. Optionally, in this setup, the antenna can be located remotely from the remaining components of the wireless transceiver. The antenna can also be connected the optional device using the same cable that shows the communication status information, such as transmit/receive status, signal strength, power, etc, in hazardous area.
